What a fun twist on your regular fairytale retelling! You get to meet all the characters from various fairytales (personally I grew up on Grimm's and Hans Christian Andersen's fairytales) while following Alex and her twin brother Conner on their adventure through the Land of Stories and to find a way to get back to their mother. Also, I absolutely adored the twist that they're the grandchildren of THE Fairy Godmother herself - I have so many questions and will definitely continue the series. Rufus Beck as narrator is brilliant as usual. Highly recommend. Do check trigger warnings, it is a fairytale retelling after all, albeit being targeted at a younger audience.
